I have heard some people saying it is possible to use an emacs GUI on a remote machine using a combination of SSH and X tunneling and maybe some other programs. Does anyone know how to do this? As of now I am using just SSH Secure Shell, but I don't think it has X tunneling, although i'm pretty sure putty does. Anyways, if you know how to do this please try to help me out. Thank you.
